No Traceability
Anytime there was a question about a decision to include or exclude a reference, team members had to dig through hundreds of records stored in Sharepoint.

High Probability of Errors

No Standardization
Reviewers were not working from a single inclusion and exclusion template which increased the chances for inconsistencies throughout the screening process.

Seamless collaboration
We reviewed the current process of using excel spreadsheets for literature reviews and decided it was not sustainable moving forward – the chance for errors and the risk for rejected regulatory submissions was very high. DistillerSR brought method, structure and quality control to our literature reviews. Our teams now have streamlined workflows that are transparent, reproducible and traceable.
